Dites la team #couture et #visiblemending , je voudrais me faire offrir un darning loom/métier à raccommoder mais je sais pas comment choisir...
Vous sauriez me donner des points de vigilance particulière pour choisir ? des suggestions de modèles ?
Merciii ! Le partage raccommode les pantalons d'enfants avec des patchs de toutes les couleurs ! ^^

Did a bit of #VisibleMending on smallest daughter’s current favourite sweatpants. The bunnies are cute and always fun to use the #embroidery skills on something practical as well as appealing. #RepairReuseRecycle #Stitchcraft #HandSewing

La salopette, update
#VisibleMending

Sewing/mending is such a relaxing activity, they said.

… those pesky knots appearing when pulling the thread make me going berserk and wanting to burn everything

Visible elbow mending for my wife. :)

The Llama's favorite shirt recently developed a small patch of holes on the back.
being a favorite shirt meant that we couldn't just leave it, so we discussed options & a small Ladybug was settled on.
the inner patch is from an outgrown shirt of similar pattern

the stitching is a bit messy as this was my first time working with waste canvas on doubled t-shirt material. but we are both very pleased with the outcome.

Have been smoothing my wrinkled brain by doing a little bit of elaborate mending. The ratio of patch to original garment on this old skirt continues being in flux! Just slapped on offcuts of the hat facing fabric, went around with machine stitching, and attached floppy bits with hand embroidery.

A little bit earlier today, this second hand shirt took a couple more steps towards being more patch than shirt... But it's a good shirt! It's amazing how much more worn the right sleeve is, what do I even do to cause it??

Years of kids putting their feet on the arm of the couch wore the edge out. Nothing you can’t fix with a needle and thread. We still have some patches to make in the seat leather but that’s another project.

The cushion in the background is made from a reused woollen blanket.

Successful #visibleMending day here! My best little terrierist (Puck) likes to dig when he nests himself into a cozy spot. And his favourite cozy spots are my spots whenever I get up. So my favourite reading chair had the fabric full worn through on the seat. No problem!

I got a scrap of off-white denim in a thrifted fabric bundle recently that wasn’t large enough for anything other than patches. So I cut some random long leaf shapes and sewed them on with a feather stitch using up random colours of thread spools that were nearly empty.

The extra patches that I didn’t need this time, I simply bundled up and tucked them inside the cushion cover* on the underside so they would be available whenever Puck inevitable strikes again.

Voila! Zero waste repair that keeps an otherwise great piece of furniture out of the landfill and uses up scraps that would otherwise be thrown away.

*sofa cushions: not just for hiding pharmaceuticals and funds!

Hitomezashi sashiko cuts the surface into a tiling that can always be colored with exactly two colors so that the two colors never touch. My first round of stitches are large, so I filled in half of the space with tiny cross stitches in navy blue. This highlights the two-coloring of the tiling. (Yes, there’s a mistake in the geometry, but it’s working perfectly as a patch.) The fabric for the patch is a vintage piece of woven silk, from a collection of a seller’s samples, and I used the pattern woven into the silk as the grid for my stitches. This is now a patch on a pair of old bluejeans to give them new life. #mathart #visiblemending #sewing

Gemessen an ihren Größe sind #Kleidermotten die intelligentesten Tiere der Welt!
Woher ich das weiß?
Sie wissen immer wo bei teuren #Wollpullover​​​n vorn ist. Und treffen meistens sogar Brusthöhe, aber immer leicht schief, so dass jedes sichtbare Stopfen (#VisibleMending) noch sichtbarer wird …
Sie nicht nicht nur die intelligensten, sie sind auch die bösartigsten Viecher!

When you've mended the same threadbare but still serviceable thing so many times you need to do it colourful, for morale. Terrible photo, but I already put the damn thing away and can't be bothered to dig it up again!
